A non-stop would put a hefty APD increase onto the price of tickets compared to going via AMS (or even the middle east).

That was what I thought, however check this;

"For APD purposes connected flights are treated as one journey and APD is charged according to a passenger’s final destination irrespective of the number of flights that they take to reach this, provided the flights are connected."

 

Full details (and I do mean FULL) here;

HMRC website (scroll down to section 4)

 

I hope that it doesn't mean what it says, but it seems pretty clear.

Wow...... potentially one could pay a lot of APD on a ticket if you changed in London and Dubai to go on to Bangkok.

I am blaming this on the Labour ex-Governmemt......
